The Live Letter XXVI and why change is necessary.

[PetiteMalFleur]

i'm not sure make people get a more powerfull gears will have make them do more savage.... before diadem was added people wasn't already doing a lot savage.
the point is most of the community don't do raid... why?

i'm the only one thinking it's the most mess up progression they have come with soo far?

It is definitely a problem. While raiders "have more to do" because they are scheduling time to tackle harder content they still want midcore level content as well. First coils 1-4 could be pugged on any server. Second coil was definitely a jump in difficulty but any mid sized server had a healthy population of pugs for 6-8 while smaller servers could form status around it. Final coil was the first tier where I saw pugs struggle but many statics could ask people to fill in without much risk and I often took casual friends with me to fill in and enjoyed teaching these fights.

More primals for other types of gear progression would be nice. A return of three dungeons. Some reason to run diadem or work on the relic (with an earlier release of the relic.) However, those obviously take more development staff to implement. Maybe they need to grow the staff more to add these things. I agree we need something more to fill in the mid level play though.

The drain actually started not too long after 3.0 as Heavensward was only exciting until you finished the main story then everything just went downhill from there.

Unfortunately, as I have learned since relaunch, as with all live letters and issues addressed there in you must also approach it with "I will believe it when I see it" since they do not always follow through on things they address or say are being added to the game.

I'm hoping an in depth discussion and player response to the live letter will help influence the development team going into 3.2.
